Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 646 Sun Xiwang's Family Affair
At this time, Di Renjie who was on the side said: "After confirming this point, I originally wanted to invite a tailor to try on this ring one by one, and the one who can fit it perfectly must be its owner.

However, it occurred to me that even if the owner of the ring was found, we would not be able to determine whether he was the murderer or the third person. "

Wang Mang said: "Before this, the county magistrate asked you whether this ring belonged to the murderer or a third person."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Yes. As soon as this idea came to me, I immediately thought of the steel knife on the ground in Room C."

Wang Mang said, "That's right. On the handle of the steel knife is a bloody fingerprint of the left hand. You once said that it belonged to the third person who entered the inn last."

Di Renjie said: "Very correct. Thinking of this, I immediately had an idea to call the tailors here and ask them to draw a picture, so that we can see if there is a left-handed among these people.

If there is, we will let him try on the ring again. As long as it matches, we can be sure that the owner of the ring is the third person.

If there is no left-hander, it means that the owner of the ring is the murderer who committed the crime in Room A. "

Wen Qing smiled admiringly: "It turns out that your deduction is completely correct."

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "Now we have found the third person who sneaked into the inn last——Sun Xiwang. The next and most difficult thing is to find the murderer."

Wen Qing took a deep breath and nodded.

Di Renjie turned around and said: "Sun Xiwang, you sneaked into the inn at night and committed murder and wounded people. You have already committed a felony. If you don't tell the truth, it will be an added crime! You have to think clearly."

Sun Xiwang burst into tears, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "The villain must tell the truth."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Let me ask you, why did you follow those two people into the inn?"

Sun Xiwang sighed and said: "Oh, speaking of this matter, the villain is really full of bitterness!"

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and Wen Qing looked at each other and said, "Oh? Don't worry, speak slowly."

Sun Xiwang said: "The villain lived in Xuyi for a lifetime and made a living by running a silk shop.

A few years ago, the villain married Yan Shi as his wife.

After marriage, the Yan family is still considered a virtuous person, helping the villain in business, cashier and accounting, everything is safe, and life is very comfortable.

But two years ago, after Xuyi cut off the salt, the price of salt in the city skyrocketed, and all businesses were in a slump. Our livelihood suddenly disappeared. The villain had to go out often and do small businesses with small profits to maintain the family.

Once, the villain came back from selling cloth in other places, and an old woman in the neighborhood told the villain that when I was away, Yan often went out late at night, stayed away all night, and the store was closed.

The villain didn't believe it at first, but after discovering a strange thing at home, the villain began to doubt it. "

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other and asked in unison, "What's so strange?"

Sun Xiwang said: "My lord, you know that since the salt cut-off in Xuyi County two years ago, the price of salt has risen to [-] Wen a bucket, and it has become difficult for every household to buy salt.

People in middle-level families like me can eat salty food for at most half of a year, and light food for the other half of the year. "

Di Renjie nodded and said, "I know that."

Sun Xiwang said: "The strange things in my family are caused by the salt."

"Oh?"

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows.

Sun Xiwang went on to say: "I usually go to the Hejia Salt Store to buy salt, and I only buy one catty at a time, at most two catties, and eat it slowly at home.

But a few months ago, when the villain came back from other places, he found that there were seven or eight large pottery urns in his house. When he opened it, he found that they were filled with white salt, as many as ten buckets.

"At that time, the villain was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Yan Shi, where did the salt come from?

Yan Shi told me that she bought it. You know, ten buckets of salt is worth four thousand cash. I was very angry and blamed her for spending so much money on salt.

But Yan Shi said that the salt was bought from the salt lord, at twenty cents a bucket, the same price as Changping salt.

At that time, I was very happy when I heard about it, but after thinking about it, it was impossible.

In Xuyi City, even the salt lords sold salt for two hundred coins a bucket.

Besides, the salt lord risked his head to resell private salt, how could it be possible to sell it at the price of ordinary salt?

This is too unreasonable! "

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and they nodded slowly.

Sun Xiwang said: "Since then, I have suspected that Yan Shi hooked up with rich and wealthy people outside, otherwise, who would have sent her so much white salt.

So a few days later, the villain pretended to go out, hid in a teahouse in the city, and sneaked back home in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, I saw a small blue sedan chair parked in front of my house. After a while, Mrs. Yan got into the sedan chair.

I followed the sedan chair to the door of this inn.

"But two people came down from the sedan chair! Both of them were wearing black cloaks.

I followed them outside a guest room.

I saw this bitch with a man..."

Speaking of this, Sun Xiwang was trembling all over, unable to speak any more.

He suppressed his anger, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, "It's unfortunate that the family has such a mess.

At that time, I wanted to break into the room and catch the rape on the bed.

He was also afraid that if he was not the opponent of the adulterer, he would be killed by him instead.

Therefore, he pressed his anger and returned home.

When Yan Shi came back, the villain asked sternly, but he didn't want Yan Shi to play tricks.

My lord, the villain is a businessman who wants to save face. Facing this shrew, I have no choice but to swallow my anger. "

At this time, Wang Mang asked: "You mean, two people got off the sedan chair?"

Sun Xiwang nodded, and said bitterly: "It's the pair of adulterers. I think the man has already been hiding in the sedan chair."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, they nodded and said, "You mean they had a tryst in Room A?"

Sun Xiwang said: "I don't know which number it is, anyway, it's the first room upstairs."

Di Renjie said to Wen Qing, "It's the No. A room."

Wen Qing nodded.

Di Renjie asked, "Did you see that man's face clearly?"

Hearing this, Wang Mang and others stared nervously at Sun Xiwang.

Sun Xiwang shook his head: "Unfortunately, I followed him a few times but didn't see the face of the adulterer."

Wang Mang, Zeng Tai and others looked at each other, with a look of disappointment flashing across their faces.

Di Renjie said: "Alright, let's continue!"

Sun Xiwang said: "After this incident, the villain bought a maid named Mei Xiang, and placed her next to Yan Shi, and reported to me whenever there was something wrong.

After a few days, Mei Xiang told me that as long as I was not at home, Yan would sneak out to have a tryst with the adulterer, and the place was at the Tonglu Inn.

At that time, the villain wanted to report to the officials in the yamen, but when he looked back, as long as the yamen stepped forward, there would definitely be riots in the city, and the villain would definitely lose face. How could he live in the city!

Thus, the villain became murderous. "

Di Renjie and Wang Mang looked at each other, took a deep breath, and nodded slowly.
